UK Labour chief Corbyn delivers leftist manifesto

Britain’s far-left Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn on Thursday ventured to the heart of the City of London to stress the importance of workers’ rights and big-business’s social obligations post-Brexit. The 67-year-old spelled out his plans at the London headquarters of Bloomberg, a week before the result is revealed of a challenge against his leadership by MP Owen Smith, although he remains heavy favourite to keep his job. Corbyn was accused by many in his own party of not campaigning hard enough to keep Britain in the EU, but insisted Thursday that he had been disappointed with the result despite criticising the bloc.
